For those of you who look forward to standing outside of the Verizon Center in the early morning waiting for someone to hand you 3 red bracelets, this year looks to be about on par with last year, with a temperature of about 20 degrees (Fahrenheit) and 15mph winds.
Does anyone know if they're doing the extra practice matches by waiting in a queue? Or if Benge is the head ref?
From what I've seen this far, it appears as though 190 has a good robot up their sleeve, and we know the perennial powerhouses 121 and 126 do. 1519 has done amazing things, and the Chop Shop will be gliding around the field just like they were last year. Also, from what I've seen from the Maine teams, it looks like collectively some of the most solid robots we've fielded. And this year has fielded such different robots doing the same thing, I can't wait to see what everyone else has done.
See you Thursday!
